Where is the Rearview Mirror Heating Switch on the Tiggo 8?
1 Answers
The button for the rearview mirror heating on the Tiggo 8 is the same as the one for the rear windshield heating. Among the physical air conditioning buttons, the one with a small rearview mirror icon next to the front windshield is the rearview mirror heating button. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirrors manually, thus reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed; the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Heat is then emitted from both left and right rearview mirrors. As the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface gradually shrink, and fog slowly disappears, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, in heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. Ensure the car is running when using this function to avoid draining the battery in a stationary state, which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help by blowing warm air to defog the mirrors.
